The European Union is working on a new sanctions package to tighten pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. EU Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen confirmed this as European leaders gathered in Tirana, Albania. The sanctions aim to target Russia’s energy and financial sectors, including the Nord Stream pipelines and Russian vessels.
